Trademarks ⟨User:Fugalicious [#33930]

So, I want to provide a bit of an update regarding the trademarks on these editions, for a long time up to now, we had to redact the logos on these editions, but we just had a rule change where on these editions specifically for Baerenreiter, we no longer have to remove the Bear with the star on top with the circle around usually on the title pages due to a misunderstanding of the rules. So if you want to include these types of title pages now, you can without any redactions!

However, any watermarks placed over/overlayed over music or text will still have to be removed one way or another, be it commercially or not. If it's off to the side not interfering with the printing of the music or text, then these do not need to be removed.

Thank you! Got it, will preserve the logos moving forward, for scans I haven't prepped already.

Google logos now no longer need to be removed as well.

Note that while Google logos are OK, they should still be removed (due to being ugly). I can remove Google logos relatively easily and will soon (hopefully) out out a tool to remove Google Books watermarks automatically.

Got it, thank you both! I submit only things I myself have scanned or dissaggregated versions of things that are on IMSLP already in compilations/sets of compete works, but this is good to know nonetheless.
